NCR Named a Leader in Independent Research Firm’s Q2 2012 Point of Service Report

NCR
Corporation (NYSE:NCR) has been cited as a leader in The Forrester
Wave™: Point of Service, Q2 2012 report. Forrester Research, Inc., a
global research and advisory firm, evaluated top point-of-service
companies against 70 criteria across three categories: “current
offering,” “strategy” and “market presence.” In each category, Forrester
ranked key elements such as services and support strategy, product
vision, security, international capabilities and deployment flexibility.

The report states: As might be expected from such an experienced vendor
in retail, NCR provides the most impressive discount and promotions
functionality, together with superior social networking, integrated
loyalty and dedicated email marketing capabilities. It also offers its
own integrated digital signage. NCR’s integrated promotion tracking,
line-busting and customer self-service are the strongest of the bunch.

“We believe this independent research provides compelling evidence of
the benefits of NCR’s strategy to deliver software solutions to all
retailers – regardless of size and type – around the world,” said Scott
Kingsfield, senior vice president and general manager, NCR Retail. “Our
portfolio of innovative omni-channel, cloud-enabled software provides
NCR’s customers with solutions that solve problems that
matter-materially improving business results while enabling the seamless
shopping experience that today’s consumer expects.”

The report states that: Leading vendors deliver point-of-service
solutions globally that integrate a consumer’s interactions with a
retail brand – regardless of the channel, branch or banner – and
orchestrate an enterprise approach to browsing and discovery as well as
transactions such as sales and returns.
